All employees are expected to report any known potential legal or ethical wrongdoing to their supervisor, management, or the Compliance Officer.

Investigation of Complaints

KnectIQ™ is committed to thoroughly investigating every inquiry and complaint an employee makes. Each complaint will be fully investigated on the merits and, depending on the results of the investigation, appropriate action will be taken.

When to Raise Issues
